lyrics

Princess Rukmini:

O infallible and most beautiful one
Those who hear about You
Absorb through their ears Your name and fame
Fixing Your form in their heart
All their suffering departs

I may be shameless in expressing myself so directly
But after hearing of Your beauty
Which fulfils all desires of all those who see
You have taken my heart, thus captivating me

If that, which is meant for the lion to eat
Is taken away by the jackal as a treat.
Won’t that be a most ludicrous affair?
Therefore lion amongst men please come here

Hurry, please hurry, before Sisupala will dare
Hurry, please hurry
He intends to run off with that which is Your share

My dear Lord
If in my previous life I have done
Public welfare work or pious activities
If Lord Narayana is pleased by these activities
I pray that You will take my hand
Instead of Sisupala and friends

I want You to be my husband
And I dedicate my life
And if You will be my husband
I’ll be Your eternal servant and wife

As my marriage is already settled, the only way for me is to be Your wife is that You come here and rescue me.
The best time for this would be when I’m going from the palace to the temple or when I’m returning home.
To obtain Your favour is not as easy, as even Lord Shiva has to purify himself for this purpose, therefore if it’s not possible in this lifetime,
I will observe severe austerities and penance’s life after life.

I want You to be my husband and I dedicate my life
O if You would be my husband
I’ll be Your eternal servant and wife
